The mission of The Global Foundation for Peroxisomal Disorders (gfpd) is too improve the lives of individuals with peroxisomal disorders by funding research, championing scientific collaboration, and empowering families and professionals through educational programs and support services. The GFPD was incorporated and received its 501(c) (3) public charity designation in 2010, and started as a small parent support group of approximately 50 families. Ten years later, the GFPD registry connects more than 600 families from 40 countries and we have a Scientific Advisory Board comprised of leading researchers and physicians in the field of peroxisomal disorders. Our biennial Family and Scientific Conferences bring together families and professionals from around the world to meet and collaborate on ways to improve the lives of patients with peroxisomal disorders.
